Streaming & Video
Streaming has become the primary way for us to consume video content. We have come a long way from the stamp-sized, low-resolution web videos of the late 1990s. All content owners and distributors now have their own streaming service, and Netflix is one of the most valuable global companies. Video streaming is putting a lot of stress on the internet infrastructure, and the industry is adapting by deploying ever more sophisticated technologies. An entire industry has matured around the need for more bandwidth, and these players amassed substantial differentiating intellectual property.

Pre-Litigation Consulting
